Strength for the Walk
Mount Up, Come Up From the Depths, and Be Supplied to the Full
Walking in restoration requires strength — not the kind you manufacture, but the kind that comes from waiting on the Lord.
Restoration is received, but it must also be walked out — and that requires strength. Not willpower, but the strength that comes from waiting on the Lord, binding your strength to His like a cord. The God who allowed the depths will revive you again and bring you up, increasing your greatness and comforting you on every side. And He supplies every need to the full — plēroō — measured not against your shortfall but against His riches in glory. Take hold of your strength: chazak.

The Anchor Verse
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
— NKJV
To "wait" is qavah — to bind together like a cord. Waiting is not passivity; it is active attachment, binding your strength to God’s so you ride what He is already doing.
Application
What This Means for You
Eagles do not fight the wind — they use it. Waiting on God positions you to ride what He is already doing, instead of exhausting yourself trying to manufacture your own lift.
The depths are not the end of the story. The same God who allowed the trouble revives you again, brings you up, and increases your greatness on the other side.
His supply is measured against His riches in glory, not the economy or your savings. Plēroō fills the need all the way to the top — refuse the scarcity of an orphan and live as an heir.
